Leo Fitzpatrick was travelling home from a trip to see his mum's family in Dublin when his Despicable Me toy showed up on the x-ray machine. A toddler was left distraught after airport staff confiscated his Minion "Fart Blaster" - because it was deemed a security risk. Leo Fitzpatrick, three, was travelling home from a trip to see his mum's family in Dublin when his Despicable Me toy showed up on the x-ray machine. Officials asked his mum Daire, 25, to empty his backpack and revealed the plastic megaphone toy which makes loud fart noises when the trigger is pulled. But the family, from Nottingham, were stunned when overzealous security officials said it posed a risk and had to be seized under rules governing replica weapons. The youngster - who had only received the loud speaker as a present from his grandfather the day before - had to put on a brave face while his favourite toy was confiscated.
